    it will make a come back . as long as old falang men have viagra and a few baht to spare.

    Wow Jack, two hooker posts in a row! But I think sex tourism is only about 10% of the total tourist dollar.

    sex tourism is only 10% yeah right !!! like you can put black money into official statistics what are you half thai???

  2. I was in a situation back in 1995 where I was visiting Thailand and had to give my savings to my family due to a family illness back home and had to give the family my savings. I wanted to stay in Thailand so I went to a temple close to the Burma border. They gave me a "quitee", 1 room home, at the temple to live in, free food and 4000 baht a month to teach English to monks, novices, the local high school and even police and the army. I also did their web site as I knew HTML language. As long as I stayed at the temple I didn't need a work permit as a volunteer. Here I met several Thais from Bangkok and Chiang Mai and they gave me jobs making web sites for their companies, work permit and everything.

    I am now retired with savings and investments I made while working with these wonderful Thai people who gave me a fresh start.

    If these homeless people want to stay here have them go to a temple to live. The Abbot will be glad to have them so they can give something to the Thai people like teaching English and it will be returned to them in bunches. The Thais and I believe anyone will help tose who want to help themself. Hanging out and begging ain't gona cut it and I do not feel sorry for them.

    I actually thought volunteer work DOES require a work permit. Wrong? Am I getting work permit stuff confused with visa stuff?

    But that aside, it's a wonderful outcome. 'Don't know how many of the down & out (e.g., those with drug, alcohol or mental issues) could repeat the process, but a real success story for you. smile.png

    yeah yeah and all falangs know html languages and the are all graduates of cambridge who can spell and teach and stay sober bullshit mate what planet are you on ???????

    PHUKET: -- A Phuket protester was the first to die during the “Bangkok Shutdown” after an unidentified person lobbed a bomb at a procession of demonstrators yesterday.
    Prakong Chuchan, 46 years old and a member of the Royal Paradise taxi rank, died at 1:57am from complications brought on by severe injuries sustained during the bomb attack. Bomb shrapnel pierced Mr Prakong’s chest, damaging a main artery and lacerating his lung.
    Mr Prakong travelled from Phuket to Bangkok on January 12 to join the protests. His last status on Facebook reads, “Even if we do not win, we will not back down.”
    About 12 of the other injured protesters were also sent to Ramathibodi Hospital to undergo treatment for injuries sustained during the attack. Six of them have been discharged.

  4. Latest news has the death toll at 22. Mostly elderly people. They say the cause of the accident was "break failure at the point of a curve in the road". Causing the bus to veer off the road and down a 30m embankment.

    So 'just another day at the office'

    Sad but it's indicative of life in the realm.....

    i cant wait to see title " bus makes it safely to destination "
